"The Xiliang Army is really brave and good at fighting."

Looking at one front-line battle report after another, Liu Jian was really full of emotion in his heart.

It seems that without the participation of Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, the strength of the alliance of the princes has been greatly reduced, and under the advantages of one another, Dong Zhuo has won one victory after another.

Historically, the Allied generals who fought with Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and others on the Central Plains Front were Sun Jian, who led the Jingyu coalition army with Sun Jian alone, and almost resisted more than half of Dong Zhuo's pressure, and Dong Zhuo also believed that among the allied forces, only Sun Jian was his military threat, so he proposed to make peace with Sun Jian, thinking that as long as Sun Jian fell to him, the other shepherds would be completely out of trouble.

Frustrated and advised: "The envoy, Dong Zhuo's command, are all capable of conscripting soldiers who are accustomed to war, and it is not suitable to fight with the enemy, and you need to be careful." ”

Liu Jian looked at Fu Zhu and said: "Gong said to me, I know very well, you can rest assured, although I came to the Central Plains to avenge Brother Yuan, but I also understand the gap between the strength of our and the Xiliang Army, and I will definitely not easily fight to the death with the other party." ”

Hearing Liu Jian speak like this, he was really relieved.

In this way, their lord was not carried away by anger.

"Lord, now that you are retiring from the army, it is still too late to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Liu Jian stretch out his hand to block the frustrated words.

"I know everything that Mr. Gong said, and I also know that at this moment, it is the best policy if I don't send troops to defend Jizhou, but I can't pass this level in my own heart, and please don't persuade Mr. again! This battle, I am settled. ”

He sighed and said, "Well, I won't persuade the lord to return to the army, from now on, I will only help the lord wholeheartedly and win this battle." ”

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

"Lord!"

It's the judge who came to see Liu Jian.

"What?"

"The scout reported that Dong Zhuo divided an army and went down the Yellow River, seemingly intending to intercept our army!"

Liu Jian was not surprised by this.

He came with mourning soldiers, in a sense, it may be more difficult than Yuan Shao and others, and it is right for Dong Zhuo to divide his troops to stop him.

No matter how stupid the other party is, he will not let himself go.

"Who will be the enemy?"

The judge hurriedly said: "It is Niu Fu, the Zhonglang general under Dong Zhuo, who is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law." ”

"Ushisuke."

Liu Jian's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and his mind began to run rapidly.

"How many soldiers did he bring?"

"More than 30,000."

"Since he is a lieutenant general, there must be several captain-level figures in his army, who are they?"

"This ......"

Hearing Liu Jian's question here, the judge suddenly couldn't answer.

I really didn't expect Liu Jian to ask this.

This one, there really wasn't a probe for a while.

Liu Jian's brows furrowed, and his expression looked very dissatisfied.

"Just tell me that the other party's main general is Niu Fu, with 30,000 soldiers, do I still need to use special investigation to investigate this matter? Feel free to send a soldier who understands the rules, and you can check it clearly! ”

The judge hurriedly said: "Yes, the last official will send someone to investigate carefully!" ”

"Tell your scouts and spies that in the future, to investigate the movements of the enemy army, you must conduct a comprehensive investigation, don't casually find out the name of a main general, and the number of soldiers and horses will come back perfunctory, I want to know the main generals and colonels in the opposing army, and even the name and identity of the grain transport officer, understand?"

"Whoa!"

The judge hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly came out of the handsome tent.

"Take the map!" Liu Jian shouted loudly outside the tent.

Not long after, some guards collided with the map and came to the tent, and according to Liu Jian's instructions, they hung on the screen behind the tent.

"Gonghe, come and see."

Liu Jian stretched out his hand to greet Fu Zhu and consulted with him.

"The land of Henan, all of them are a horse Pingchuan, if the field war, it is really unfavorable to our army, after all, the Liangzhou army has many war horses, and the Xiliang cavalry is also a famous man, if I am in the plain next to the river, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end, so I want to find a county town to rely on to deal with Niu Fu, the counties on the south bank of the Yellow River, where do you think you can send troops?"

Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Yanjin County: "It's okay here." ”

"Yanjin County?"

Liu Jian frowned and said, "The city wall of Yanjin County is not tall. ”

Frustrated, he said: "Envoy, over the years, we in Hebei have built iron tools and calibrated strong bows, and there are no less than 3,000 archers in the army today, although the city of Yanjin is not high, but there are more than 3,000 archers who are stubbornly defending, which is enough to resist Niu Fu's army!" Although the Xiliang cavalry is invincible in the plains, under the outline of the city full of archers, they can only look at the city and sigh helplessly. ”

"And Yanjin is an important place connecting Yanjindu, you can let our soldiers and horses withdraw to the north bank at any time, you can defend or retreat, the most suitable, I know that the envoy does not plan to retreat, but everything has a case, since the opponent is strong, then first find your own way out, so as to concentrate on the decisive battle with the other party!"

Although he was conservative in his words, he had to say that he was indeed serious, and Rao was Liu Jian couldn't find a reason to refute him.

"Gonghe, then listen to your words, the three armies are stationed in Yanjin to fight against Dong Zhuo, but Niu Fu is here, how to break it, do you have a strategy to teach me?"

Fu Zhu said respectfully: "Envoy, according to a certain opinion, Dong Zhuo sent Niu Fu here just to stop our generals and make us unable to enter for the time being, but if you say that Niu Fu will directly confront us, I don't think so." ”

"Oh?"

"After all, Dong Zhuo's main thing to deal with at the moment is still the Kwantung Ministers, and Dong Zhuoying's revenge division is still mainly blocking, at least before defeating the Kwantung Ministers, he doesn't want to be too entangled with the Envoy."

Liu Jian smiled: "In other words, there is a lot of respite right now, right?" ”

"Exactly."

"Okay, then let's see what kind of tactics Niu Fu will use next."

……

……

The head of the frustration was the Tao, but the result was quite a slap in the face.

He guessed that Dong Zhuo asked Niu Fu to come, mainly to stop Liu Jian from entering the army, and he didn't want to have a big conflict for the time being.

But what I didn't expect was that Niu Fu didn't play cards according to the routine!

On Liu Jian's way back to Yanjin Tunzha, Niu Fu actually sent troops to beat Liu Jian three times in a row.

Fortunately, Liu Jian was cautious in deploying his defenses, and he did not cause any excessive losses to his own side these three times, but judging from the frequency and strength of the opponent's attacks, Niu Fu was really not a temptation, nor was he playing around with Liu Jian.

He is indeed here to specialize in Liu Jian.

Until Liu Jian set up the soldiers and horses in Yanjin County, Niu Fu still did not give up and continued to send troops to attack the county seat.

But how could Liu Jian do what he wanted?

The 3,000 archers under his command, under Zhang He's arrangement, were on guard in various important places in the county, but as soon as the Xiliang army appeared, Hebei's strong bows and crossbows would greet them.

The sky is full of arrows and rain, covering the sky and the sun, so that people can find no gaps!

Xiliang's cavalry was invincible in the plains, but this did not mean that they were iron-beaten, and when they encountered a long-range strong bow, they were just as good as Moza.

After leaving behind a corpse, Niu Fu reluctantly withdrew, and went back to plan how to attack Liu Jian again.

And after Niu Fu withdrew, Fu Zhu came to apologize to Liu Jian: "To make Jun forgive his sins, I misunderstood Dong Zhuo and almost put the army in danger, but fortunately, I made the Jun arrange it properly, so I would not lose it." ”

"Who would have thought that Dong Zhuo would really let Niu Fu fight us, alas...... It's just that this really doesn't make sense, huh? ”

Faced with the self-blame of frustration, Liu Jian comforted him and said: "On the battlefield, it is impossible for everyone to be the first to anticipate the enemy, even if Han Xin is alive, it is impossible for him, but this matter is not to blame Mr., in my opinion, according to Dong Zhuo's character, he should not let Niu Fu directly confront us, I think this is Niu Fu's own doing." ”

Fu Zhu was quite surprised and said, "How did the envoy know that this was Niu Fu's doing?" ”

"I also guessed, the last time in Luoyang, my brother Yide in front of the soldiers of the two armies, rectified Niu Fu, so that his face was lost, and his majesty was lost, anyone who is a general will be ashamed, that Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and his ability is at the bottom of the Xiliang generals, but he only got to this position by nepotism, and after being humiliated by Yide, he thought it became a joke among the people of Liangzhou."

"Therefore, when he came to fight with me this time, he must destroy my Jizhou army...... That's a good thing, too! Since this person has the intention of fighting a decisive battle, then I may have a way to capture him! I'm afraid that if he shrinks and hits, it won't be easy to get it. ”

While he was talking, the judge took a roll of silk silk and came to see Liu Jian.

"Envoy Jun, the main figures in the Niu Auxiliary Army, have already found out clearly, this is the roster, please take a look."

Liu Jian took the silk silk, opened it and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhengnan, thank you for your hard work!"

Seeing that Liu Jian was satisfied this time, the judge breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jian glanced back and forth at the names of those Liangzhou Military Academies, and suddenly, his eyes froze.

It's a familiar name that tugs at Liu Jian's heartstrings.

"Captain Pingjin, Jia Xu...... This person is also in the Niu Auxiliary Army? ”

Seeing that Liu Jian's expression was different, the judge said: "Exactly, all the names on the silk are the generals and colonels of the Niu Auxiliary Army!" ”

Liu Jian frowned, slowly put down the silk silk, and then said to the judge: "Continue to probe, in addition, since this Jia Xu is a captain, he should have his own army, and the movements of his soldiers and horses must be carefully investigated by the scouts, and report to me at any time if there is any change!" ”

"Yui!"
